The PC version of Gears of War is everything the 360 version was and more.
The Good: Satisfying gameplay in story mode. Very addictive online offering. Really stellar graphics from both a technical and an artistic standpoint. Fully-featured level editor included.
The Bad: System requirements can be a little steep. New chapters added to this version don’t fit quite so well with the old ones. Difficulty could have used some slight tuning.
